.. let's change "is a UAF" to "can be a potential UAF" in that sentence, ok?

The way you phrase it, it sounds like it's an acute problem, rather
than a "nobody has ever seen it in practice, but in theory with just
the right patterns and memory pressure".

Anyway, apart from this (and similar wording in one or two others,
iirc) ack on all the patches up until the last one. I'll write a
separate note for that one.
